Robert Capa: “If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough. ” Of course, Robert Capa was a better photographer than Andre Friedmann.

PESO -- Abandoned and Forlorn

Re: OT: Is the UK Imploding?
Tell us what you really think Bob; don't hold back. I read the BBC online, the Economist on paper and online, and other British media online. It is the very passion and venom that I was finding there that led me to this post. I can understand, and to some extent appreciate, the points of view of both sides. I am troubled most by the fact that it seems compromise has become as loathsome a concept to many in Britain as it is to much of the US.

The whole thing is a collective descent into madness. There is no reasoned discussion, and the reason the Leave won and Remain lost is that Leave played on the emotional aspects of it all, while Leave tried to play to reason. But it is not an issue where reason really matters for most people - I for one am pro-Europe by emotion at least as much as I am by reason. What it means is that the arguments are simply playground mud-slinging and very tiresome once you're past the initial entertainment of it all. The problem is, if there's another referendum and Remain wins, the Leave camp will never shut up, they will beaver away obsessively just as they did after the 1974 referendum, with their lies and prejudices and bigotry. If Leave win I suspect Remain will accept that the war is over and the bad guys won. I did march in favour of another referendum a couple of weeks ago, with 700,000 others - I don't think we'll get one, but I think it's important to make our voice heard because there is a real slide towards tyranny of the majority, and the notion of winner takes all, even though the Leave majority was less than 4%. It's a very worrying slide. The other thing is that if we do indeed leave it will be the leave voters who suffer from the economic consequences, not the leaders of the Leave movement, who are feathering their own nests and intend to strip the workers of their rights as soon as they get the chance, or the middle-class oldies like me. They are robber barons of the worst sort, lying, conniving little shits who've used people to further their own interests. I'm a mild-mannered sort of chap, but I'd to see the whole fucking lot of them hanging from lampposts in Parliament Square.

There were quite a few flowers blooming in window boxes near Kew Gardens >and around Greenwich. Generally speaking we have mild, wet winters and mild, wet summers! Haha, that said, as an island, we are heavily influenced by the Atlantic Ocean. We have a warm water flow up from the Caribbean called the 'Atlantic Conveyor' that means the water that reaches our western shores is not cold. This generally keeps temps up. The northern jet stream borders the UK usually, with cold Arctic air to the north of it and milder air to the south. A series of Atlantic low pressure systems generally follows the jet stream and means we can get mild and wet south-westerlies alternating with cold northerlies. Sometimes the jet stream goes a bit north and we get the mild air for a while. When the jet is south of us, we're all sitting in front of the fire :-) Sometimes a big blocking high pressure develops over Scandinavia and keeps all the lows at bay - at a cost: the wind swings in from the east and we are blasted with Putin's best ice cold air. But that will move after a week or two and we're back to westerlies again. That's why we don't actually have a climate in the UK - we just have weather :-) I could go on -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) |Live Broadcast News -- _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
